Introduction
In today’s evolving job market, employment dynamics are experiencing a profound shift. Technology is revolutionizing all facets of our lives, including the way we work. Introducing Shiftfillers, a creation of tech visionaries and staffing industry professionals who embarked on a mission to transform employment by harnessing the power of cutting-edge automation, mobile staffing technology, and robust recruiting software to create an exceptional experience for job seekers. Their goal was simple: swiftly connect talented individuals with available jobs in less time and with less friction.
In April 2021, Shiftfillers introduced an advanced mobile staffing platform seamlessly connected to a robust front- and back-office applicant tracking system (ATS) powered by Avionté. By doing so, they developed a superior staffing experience that benefits both their recruiters and candidates alike. And the outcome of these efforts was truly remarkable!
Within the first year after launch, their revenue hit $14 million! And this remarkable growth extended into 2022, resulting in a staggering 250% revenue increase in just a single year, ultimately leading to another major milestone: their acquisition by global recruiting firm, Raise, in July 2023.
Discover the remarkable journey taken by this pioneering, tech-forward company, and how their deliberate emphasis on leading with technology and innovation, as opposed to conventional brick-and-mortar methods, drove rapid expansion by establishing an exceptional mobile-first candidate experience.
Embracing Mobile-First Digital Transformation
We live in a highly connected digital age. A significant 76% of consumers favor brands with mobile apps, and job seekers now expect a seamless online employment experience. The fastest-growing agencies understand this well. Among these high-growth businesses, 60% are early tech adopters, and 59% credit technology for their competitive advantage.
Shiftfillers, a company specializing in light industrial work, specifically in warehousing and distribution, recognized this digital shift and took a bold step forward. During the height of the pandemic, they set themselves up to quickly scale by establishing a groundbreaking mobile staffing experience that simplified operations and engaged employees where they’re most active – on their smartphones. Today, with technology at the core of their operations, Shiftfillers serves as a prime example of how embracing digital transformation and a mobile-forward approach can lead to extraordinary growth in the staffing industry.
“From the outset, we knew we wanted to be a very tech-enabled company. We began Shiftfillers by asking ourselves: how can we make staffing easier for everyone? And our answer was technology. That meant we needed a really good mobile experience and an even better tech stack.”
